Scripts and data files for the epigenomic enrichment analysis of age-associated differentially methylated regions, and genes changing their expression with age. The results are published in Dozmorov, Mikhail G. “Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 Epigenomic Signature Defines Age-Associated Hypermethylation and Gene Expression Changes.” Epigenetics 10, no. 6 (2015): 484–95. https://doi.org/10.1080/15592294.2015.1040619.
This README also collects papers and notes about DNA methylation and aging, aka epigenetic clock.
